Worth a visit, historical Take a ride on the steam paddle boat Experience riding on a horse carriage

When it comes to travel in Australia, Sydney is often mentioned, but in the country towns you can feel the natural scenery and the leisurely flow of time. Echuca, 3 hours from Melbourne, is a place where many local Sydney people come to visit on their private river ferries from Sydney on holidays, and you can spend a very peaceful time. Also, since the ferries are basically considered to be a convenient means of transportation, you cannot experience it just by going around the tourist spots. You can see the local lifestyle. Speaking of travel, there are many things to do, such as dinner and rooftop bar cruises, but even those who have a little time can take a day trip. I think that taking the express train on the corridor will also be a healing space where you can relax and relieve your fatigue from the busyness of Japan. #SoloTravel ##Melbourne #0YenTravelJanuary2025 There is a limit in Victoria, and you can ride for about 2,000 yen. You can go anywhere in Victoria, so you can travel at a great price.

Echuca is located on the border between Victoria and New South Wales, along the Murray River. It belongs to Victoria and is a small town nearly three hours’ drive north from the center of Melbourne. Echuca is an Australian Aboriginal word meaning water meeting. As it is the closest location to the Murray River from Melbourne, it became a prosperous river port city in the 1970s and is the largest inland port in Australia. At that time, goods were shipped to Echuca Wharf by steamship and then transported to Melbourne by rail. Wool, wheat, grain, livestock and timber were the most common. However, with the improvement of roads and railway expansion in most areas, depression began in the 1990s, ending Echuca's role as a major economic center. However, Echuca Wharf has been listed as one of Australia's national heritage sites.
